Auto install - connection refused

[sebi]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Plesk 12 on a Centos 7.
I want to test a new VPS hosting company and I've deployed a fresh Centos 7 x64 server to install Plesk on it.

After downloading and running the installer with --web-interface I get this message:

Web interface is now started.
  Please visit https://123.45.67.89:8447/ in your browser.

I get connection refused trying to access the url in my browser

I've also tried setting a hostname but the same thing happens. I get:

Web interface is now started.
  Please visit https://my.domain.com:8447/ in your browser.

and when I try the hostname I get connection refused.

I've checked some of the most common external ports (80,443,8443,8447) and all of them are closed.

The same thing happened when I've tried the CLI installer. The install finished successfully but when trying https on 8443 I get connection refused.

I wanted to make sure that it's not issue with the VPS hosting company blocking incoming connections so I've installed a LAMP stack. Everything worked perfectly.

I would appreciate any help from you guys.
Thanks!

I've checked some of the most common external ports (80,443,8443,8447) and all of them are closed.

Have you checked connection to these ports with telnet from your workstation?

Yes, I did. I've also used an online tool: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ with same results.

Testing the same Plesk auto installer on an Ubuntu server worked perfectly.

Hi sebi,

please try to understand, that each operating system has its own standard installation packages. As for example, on Ubuntu systems, there will be no firewall in the first place, if you don't install it manually, so you don't have to setup to be opened. For operating systems, which install a firewall in their initial standard installation procedure, please see:

Which ports need to be opened for all Plesk services to work with a firewall? ( KB - article 391 )
​

... and try to use the documentation of you operating system, to learn how to setuo and configure your firewall. For CentOS 7 it would be:

RHEL 7 Security Guide ( externeal link, please inform me, if the link goes dead, so I can provide another usefull link instead )​
